Hi,I am testing a random die. By using runif the two extreme values 1 and 6 are showing with less values compared with the numbers 2,3,4, and 5. Is there any good reason for it to happen?
(Tested for 100, 1000, 10000, and 100000).
rollingADie(100000,6)
Here is the function I am using:
rollingADie<-function(n, max1)
{
# n nr. of obs. and max represent max number selected of a rolling die
y <- round(runif(n, min = 1, max = max1))
hist(y, main = "The rolling die", probability = T)
return(NULL)
}
TIA,
Aldi
